Okay. Now I know that this will come across as a huge surprise, but today I’m feeling really tired. Yep. Here it is folks! Even though I went to bed late, I did get a long sleep, because my little man and I slept in. However, I’m just so so tired!

My younger daughter and I spent some time today looking into a new dance studio. I am just done with her current school and so is my daughter. I’m tired of sending her to a dance school that basically promotes bullying and cliques. It has been gradually picking away at her confidence and self-esteem. We’ve been talking about changing dance schools for sometime now. This is certainly not a new discussion for us. For some time now we’ve questioned why we continue to pay people to hurt our child, to crush her spirit, to convince her that she’s not good enough. I’m just so done with it. I want her to remember that she loves dancing. I want her to have fun and look forward to her classes. I want her to come out of class smiling and happy. She’s a good dancer, maybe not the best, but also not the worst. I want her to be at a school where that doesn’t matter, as all dancers are treated equally and everyone is given the same opportunities to dance and perform. I was once told that a good dance teacher is one who can teach the good and talented kids to dance, but a great dance teacher can teach even the most awkward and uncoordinated kids how to dance well. Lots of venting going on, I know. My point in all of this is that we’re in the process of finding a new dance school in Edmonton. I’m not looking forward to the extra driving, but I believe it’s super important for us to do this now. Recently she has experienced a great deal of rejection and I am so so tired of seeing her face fall and watching as another little knock is notched into her heart. I’m done with people who just get caught up in their own personal bubble, with their own little world and who then make decisions or say things without much concern about other people’s feelings and how much damage their actions may cause. I’m done with bullies!! Just done!! Bye bye bullies!!

Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!
